Is there anywhere you can download the WoW client? Most games do that and then you can just purchase the registration key n all that jazz and get ur account up and running from the convienience of your home..If any of you can help please repost!
There are a few sites that you can download the original beta client from, which i believe still works as an installation, but it would be fruitless for two reasons;
1 - The download plus all of the updates from then to now would be 3-4Gb and even with a fast broadband connection that is gonna take a fair while.
&
2 - Even when you have downloaded the client, you will still need a valid unused CD-Key to complete the installation.
Basically, it is going to be far easier to go buy the game. You can pick it up for £18 from Play or Gameplay with free postage and that will mean that you always have a copy of the client and you will get your first 30 days free with it.
It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.
My suggestion is to get the 10 day free trial, let it patch and buy the CD-key online.. However it is better to have the disk at hand and it's only the price of game anyway, plus you get 30 days free and if you sign up for the free trail +10 days.. I ended up with 40 days free and the disk..
The Disk will still need patching, but not as much as most downloads. (Remeber to portforward the DLer. 90% of the complaints are from slow net users or people who can't portforward, I DLed the updates at around 500 kb/s)
Anyway, I suggest a trip to the store, ususally better to have a hardcopy of the game.

i saw this one, but dont you have to pay 40$ for it? I already have a registered account and everything so i just need to deal with the credit card billing (which i will solve using a gamecard) I lent the CD to a friend for download onto his computer (i was dumb i know) and it doesnt look like hes giving it back anytime soon so i want a full client download for free..if thats possible, woah wait...i already used the CD key but i uninstalled my game i should be able to use my CD-key again because it is MINE and nobody else used it...i cant see why that wouldnt work if it doesn then thats just gay (even if i had the cd!)
The CD Key is attached to the account you have. It is not related to the game installation in any way.

Well i don't think that this is entirely true as you can only get one by buying a CD pack because as far as i know (and i stand corrected if wrong) you cannot buy a key on it's own as yet, at least not officially.

well i already have an existing WoW account so if i downloaded the client off the net and then bought a game time card will i be all set or do i need a cd key?

you do not need a cd-key for installing the game. nope. so you are all set, you just need the client. you can get the free trial client and it should work just fine.

what he meant is that once you used the cd-key to open your account, that's it. you can use any and all cds or donwloaded clients you like, as long as you have a valid account name and password and game time
You do not NEED to reinstall the game with the same cds you got when you bought the game.

It says trial client??? Will it update to the full version of the game or somthing?
from that link
"This is the World of Warcraft full game client for the World of Warcraft recruit-a-friend and 10-Day Trial programs. "
There ain't no difference between a "trial" client and a "full" client for MMorpgs. what changes is the Key. but you already have an account, so you do not need one and the client will work normally.
